Serial Port Profiles

Adding/Editing Additional TruePort Hosts

You can define a list of hosts that the serial device will communicate to through TruePort Lite or a primary/backup host.

Configure the following parameters:

Define additional

When this option is enabled, you can define up to 49 hosts that the serial device

hosts to connect to

connected to this serial port will attempt communicate to. With this mode of

 

operation, the IOLAN will connect to multiple hosts simultaneously.

 

Default: Enabled

Add Button

Click the Add button to add a host to the list of hosts that will be receiving

 

communication from the serial device connected to the IOLAN.

 

See Adding/Editing a Multihost Entry on page 81 for more information.

Edit Button

Highlight an existing host and click the Edit button to edit a host in the list of

 

hosts that will be receiving communication from the serial device connected to

 

the IOLAN.

Delete Button

Highlight an existing host and click the Edit button to edit a host in the list of

 

hosts that will be receiving communication from the serial device connected to

 

the IOLAN.

Define a primary

When this option is enabled, you need to define a primary host that the serial

host and backup...

device connected to this serial port will communicate to and a backup host, in

 

the event that the IOLAN looses communication to the primary host. The

 

IOLAN will first establish a connection to the primary host. Should the

 

connection to the primary host be lost (or never established), the IOLAN will

 

establish a connection the backup host. Once connected to the backup, the

 

IOLAN will attempt to re-establish a connection to the Primary host, once this

 

is successfully done, it gracefully shuts down the backup connection.

 

Default: Disabled
